some people said Casino was just Scorsese's attempt to recreate Goodfellas, but this time in Vegas without Ray Liotta. I personally feel like Casino is different enough fro Goodfellas that its comparison was undeserved. I personally wish Scorses would do more mob movies. It does seem to be the same basic setup at some parts though; quiet and traditional DeNiro trying to reign in wild and crazy Pesci. Yes it may be copying a bit off of Goodfellas, but it still works beautifully.
